A crepe bar is an easy and delicious thing to serve at a bridal shower.  The guests will think you are so fancy and they will love assembling their own crepes.

Crepe Bar Bridal Shower

I love hosting bridal showers. It is so fun to see the new bride’s excitement and happiness. This weekend I hosted a bridal shower for a girl I had taught at church.  We decided to decorate with a “pink” theme to reflect her love for dane and ballet and we put together a crepe bar. Read on for all my tips for putting a crepe bar together and hosting a bridal shower.

How to Make a Crepe Bar

The shower was Saturday morning so we decided to do a crepe bar.  It was so fun and a HUGE hit!

Crepe Bar Ingredients

  • Crepes. Can be made the day ahead stored in the refrigerator to make party day easier.
  • Berries. we had big bowls of berries – raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries. 
Berries for crepe bar
  • Nutella
  • Lemon curd
  • Powdered Sugar
  • Lemon Juice

  • Crepe Fillings. Chocolate mousse, Cream cheese mouse and White chocolate mousse.  I must say the white chocolate was my favorite but the cream cheese disappeared the fastest!

We also had some pink and white chocolate dipped strawberries.

And some lovely French cheese puffs called gougeres.  Just like a cream puff but made with cheese.

To drink there was Citrus Water which I love!  I used one of Tessa’s old tutus around the punch bowl.

Everyone loved the food and enjoyed visiting with one another.  We let the cute bride go first.

In addition to my collection of pink dishes I picked up some clear glass plates at Ikea – they were less than a dollar each and then just used some clear canning jars to hold the silverware.  There were pink napkins of course (from Ikea)

How to Host a Bridal Shower

Make it personal:  I love to plan the food and decorations for the shower around something the bride likes or enjoys.  For this shower, we decided to go with a pink theme since the bride loves everything Barbie and has been a ballerina most of her life and is minoring in dance.  We used lots of pink and ballet influences for the decorations.

Use things you already have: Thankfully my daughter Tessa has also been a ballerina so her point shoes and old tutus came in handy!   I love it when I can use things I already have around the house to decorate with.

Set up a designated serving area:  I always push my kitchen table up against the wall in my kitchen nook and use it as my serving area.

I saw a cute idea on a blog (sorry I can’t find the link) for a fun backdrop for the serving table.  I used a collection of pink fabric with a few blue and green thrown in (the colors matched in the invite.)  It was simple and cheap to put together and I think it turned out darling.  Tessa has asked me to make one in colors to match her college bedding so she can hang it on her dorm wall.

I just tore (I wanted a rough edge) strips of fabric that were anywhere from 2-3 inches wide from the width of the fabric and then tied the strips onto a piece of ribbon.  I used thumbtacks to hang it on the wall.

Bridal Shower Decorations

Fresh flowers are a must for me at any party I host.  I often cut flowers from my own party or pick up inexpensive bouquets at the grocery store and arrange them myself. For this party, I did a combination.  The pink tulips came from the store, and the lilacs and snowballs came from my garden.

Flowers in a vase

This chalkboard made a great background.  I shared last week and hung some of Tessa’s pink point shoes from it for an added touch.  And I also used my vintage quilt to cover the window seat.

Bridal Shower Chalk Board

I bought about 7 yards of pink tulle and used it to dress up the table.  I just used ribbon and pins to tie it and fasten it to the table cloth on the corners and tied a big pink bow in the middle.

Fortunately for me, I also have a collection of pink dishes that belonged to my grandmother that we used.

    Love this — how far in advance did you make the crepes? Did you serve warm? Any tips?

      I made them the day before, kept them refrigerated and then served them the next day at room temperature.

    I tried making the cream cheese mousse today and it tasted amazing!! 🙂
    I followed the recipe, however the cream cheese would not fully melt–it still had tiny lumps no matter how much I cooked/stirred/whisked it with the cream. :/ I even tried beating it after taking it off the heat but it did’t help. Any suggestions for how to get it creamy smooth? I wonder if I beat the room temp. cream cheese until it’s soft and then slowly blend in the hot cream/sugar mixture… if that would have a similar mousse texture once cooled?
    I really want to make this for a brunch at our school, but I don’t want it full of lumps.

      I think your plan to beat it first and then add it in to the hot mixture might work. I haven’t tried it but I think it sounds like a good plan. Was your cream cheese soft when you started to melt it or was it straight out of the fridge?
